Apple officially announced that more than 100,000 apps are now available from the App Store.
"The App Store, now with over 100,000 applications available, is
clearly a major differentiator for millions of iPhone and iPod touch
customers around the world," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice
president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "The iPhone SDK created the
first great platform for mobile applications and our customers are
loving all of the amazing apps our developers are creating."
"The App Store has forever changed the mobile gaming industry and
continues to improve," said Travis Boatman, vice president of Worldwide
Studios, EA Mobile. "With a global reach of over 50 million iPhone and
iPod touch users, the App Store has allowed us to develop high quality
EA games that have been a huge success with customers."
"With 10,000 downloads a day, worldwide customer response to our I Am
T-Pain App has exceeded our wildest expectations," said Jeff Smith, CEO
of Smule. "The App Store has given us a unique opportunity to create
and grow a very successful business, and we're looking forward to an
exciting future."
An announcement was expected ever since App Shopper.com noted that over
100,000 applications had been approved. Apple's previous official
announcement of App Store application count occurred in late September,
when the store surpassed two billion downloads with 85,000 available
apps.
